I forgot my pack of birth control pills in the car. The plastic is twisted but the pills are intact. Is it still effective?

It is recommended to store contraceptive pills at a temperature between 15 and 25°C. If the pills were left in a car exposed to temperature and humidity fluctuations, the effectiveness of the pills may be compromised. It would be safer to get a new box from the pharmacy to ensure the effectiveness of the contraceptive pills.
